It has been about 11 months since Hurricane Sandy made landfall on the Atlantic Coast causing an estimated $65 billion in damages. The storm affected 24 states and left businesses shuttered or trying to figure out how to survive.

As a partner of the Small Business Administration, SCORE has offered support in the recovery process. In July, Andrew Beamon, project manager of SCORE's Hurricane Sandy Initiative, enlisted SCORE volunteers throughout the country to offer their experience in helping businesses get back on their feet.
